[upbeat geyser]

what am i supposed to do with white level 1 waystones that i get from act 3?

transmute + augment then run them?

[honest knot]

anyone willing to help with 3rd ascendancy

[civic talon]

You can use them or reforge them

[cobalt escarp]

A big part of the volatility is how early it is into the game. Certain items and modifiers haven't 'populated' enough yet for everyone to be able to offer them for a stable price- if you roll a bunch of good mods in a specific combination you have a pretty hot chance of having something that's unique to the market. One of my guildmates found a jewel the other night with mods that didn't exist on trade, they'll probably get 20+ exalt if they don't decide to use it

If they wait a while though it'll probably be 1-5

[vast prism]

how is that possible, is that a bug? it happens every time that i explore all the map in Vaal Factory and it's always more than 50 monsters remaining

is there a switch or something that i have to use for more monsters to spawn?

[bleak rock]

HAVE ANYONE 3RD ASCENDaNCY CLEAR? i need carry

[opal marsh]

I need help with act 5 abomination throne boss

[cobalt escarp]

I see two pockets of uncovered walls on the middle right and bottom right where a group of small monsters could hide out

[agile karma]

how important is accuracy?

[oblique idol]

is iron rune on armor local or global increased armor/es?

[vast prism]

you are funny

[astral sparrow]

guys u think this atlas is good?

[civic talon]

Local

[civic talon]

Pretty close to what i use for mid difficulty so ye. I toned down on map spam though because t15s are not expensive. Also the mod keystone is super deadly if you scale bosses up at all

[oblique idol]

ty

[opal marsh]

I need help with act 5 abomination throne boss

[cobalt escarp]

You're missing quest objectives and your first instinct isn't to uncover all the blue segments where you could've missed things, and ask how it's possible.

something is funny here, but I'm not sure it's me

[distant knoll]

its exactly what I am running and it feels good, though I will try to see if less waystone focus and more item drops and enemy modifier actually make more sense since I'm running 15/16s with high waystone dropchance

[lilac tide]

was that too cheap? I was selling for 1 exalted and I was bombarded with DMs, but there are a bunch of these in the trade for one exalted, I ended up moving the price to 4 exalted, but I still don't get why people were crazy over it

[distant knoll]

but for early maps this is the way to go imho because it really helps you build up a waystone backlog

[arctic osprey]

excuse me fellows if I do a tower map but don't use a tablet thing as I have none is it worth it? is it a waste to do?

[livid parrot]

It's because of the high resistance roll. It's a very popular item atm.

[distant knoll]

you can still do them, but it would be a waste to do all surrounding maps without tableting it

you can add the tablet to the tower at any time, once you have cleared it

[astral sparrow]

ty guys

[arctic osprey]

got it, I just watched but didn't fully understand some video saying path to the towers, and that second part that you can add it anytime helps my confused!

[astral sparrow]

someone maybe play ranger with galvanic shard?

[lilac tide]

but there is one in the trade rn with 20% resist for one exalted

ohh

bots?

[arctic crag]

I haven't read/watched a lot yet, what starter strart here? We first use something like a irradiation to clear an area (as in do all map nodes in that section to clear the side mechanics like boss/ritual/breach etc) and then we load our desired tablet and redo the area?

[distant knoll]

try putting up a 15 corrupted key for 1ex and watch your chat explode as if you just tried to give away a mirror for free. i dont know if these are all bots but ong so many people are sniping "good deals"

[rapid abyss]

wdym redo the area

[livid parrot]

Price fixers yeah

[rapid abyss]

once you clear a node, I don't think you can do it again

[arctic crag]

you can redo the empty map, no?

I mean with the tower buffs

[distant knoll]

no

[arctic crag]

ah ok, well that goes down the drain then. I was thinking I'd clear an area in a biome I want (with Local Knowledge) and then finally illuminate or whatever the tower and redo the whole segment again with my desired mechanic.

[distant knoll]

optimal pathing usually looks like this : Use "normal" keys to fasttrack to any given tower -> tablet into tower -> check other towers and repeat first step -> once all towers have been upgraded, do the upgraded maps with your best keys (especially boss+iridation+corruption)

there's quite a bit of variation though depending on which events you want to play the most, maybe delirium or expedition etc.

[arctic crag]

yea I seem to have completely misunderstood, I guess I'll just need to plan ahead then. Do we know what takes precedence? Say a node has possiblity of breach, boss, expedition but I insert a ritual tablet. It will have 2 encounters at the least or 3?

boss, one of out breach/exp and then ritual?

[unborn tusk]

if I run a trial and socket in the fates but don't run them do they stay in the next time I get to that point?

[distant knoll]

afaik 4 encounters is max per map (correct me someone if I'm wrong) and other than things not being duplicated I dont think there is too much of a priority.

only exception to me are boss maps that are already corrupted, then I try to hit them with irridation for juicy level 81/82 maps

[vocal temple]

how to kill carver cutthroats ?, they keep respawning, is this a bug ?

[distant knoll]

same goes for your speciality later though, like if you really want high delirium maps, then scout for corrupted delirium maps and hit them with irridation, too

[arctic crag]

I had this issue too, not sure if was a modifier, I just ignored them and went to the boss. Killing a shaman that wasnt even in the area seemed to have fixed it but I could've just been imagining things.

[vast prism]

oh you are serious

[arctic crag]

So if you find a cluster with a lot of your desired mechanic, you irradiate, if not you apply the mechanic tablet?

[rapid abyss]

to add on, some mobs need somewhat close proximity to trigger, like sentinels or the lava crab dudes

[arctic crag]

Also why is breach so popular? I don't get it. Is it an XP/drop rate thing? Ritual and Expedition are solid too, especially for starting.

[rapid abyss]

you might have uncovered parts of the map which have mobs that require you to be closer to actually trigger them

[distant knoll]

yea, thats the gist of it. remember though that these towers have acutally quite the freaking range, so if you have a few towers next to each other, you can create massive clusters of high yield maps, so you irridate one, and place other tablets into the rest

[arctic crag]

nah I kited them all around the map, they die and ressurrect, it was funny. a pack of three dudes.

[vast prism]

oh yes absolutely, but trust me this isn't the first map, i've done plenty of vaal factories and it's always like that. no matter how carefully i try to uncover everything

[gray ore]

how do you get a level 83 map?

[arctic crag]

oh wait nvm I thought you were replying about the carvers

[distant knoll]

you dont

[rapid abyss]

prob a level 15 map with node modifiers that boost level

[vast prism]

and it also seems that other people do have that problem as well, judging by what i can find on the net

[distant knoll]

rare enemy skill "ressurect minions" goes map-wide I believe so thats most likely what happened to you

[gray ore]

im missing one atlas passive book

[vast prism]

but there doesn't seem to be a solution, just that fact that it is like that

[rapid abyss]

why is that map wide

imagine if siphon mana was map wide

[distant knoll]

the last one is the quest, read the description in atlas again

[vast prism]

silly comments like "yOu hAvE 0,1% oF tHe mAp To UnCoVeR xD" are just that, silly

[arctic crag]

didnt realize it was map-wide.

[distant knoll]

me neither the first time, I thought I was going crazy until I saw the rare lol

[rapid abyss]

I've always been able to get maps to 0 monster count so it's an interesting problem

[arctic crag]

I wasn't following a guide early on and kinda screwed myself with Far Shot. I couldn't kill bubble monsters.

[rapid abyss]

that being said, usually really small patches of uncovered doesn't matter unless they're all over the place then they can add up

[arctic crag]

That is also interesting. in poe1 people seemed to value time spent in a map pretty high and advised me to just clear until the number goes below 50 and then move on.

[rapid abyss]

this is my first arpg, I will clear the whole map cus I feel like it lol

I signed up to kill stuff, I will do exactly that

[arctic crag]

maybe due to the pace of poe2 and size of maps, its not going to be that min-maxy anyway, might as well clear as much as you can, idk.

[rapid abyss]

also I got time to burn, I'm in no rush

[jagged hound]

Is Loss over time (Like the progenesis effect in Bloodmage) a DoT in 2?

[rapid abyss]

I think I have 88 hous in the game and I'm only at t8 map (for quest)

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[distant knoll]

i definitely do that in poe2 as well though, good waystones are actually not THAT easy to come by and I wanna make sure to get the most out of them, unless I'm actively throwing away a map to path to a tower without any event on them

[arctic crag]

plus with the rarity thing that seems to be popular, maybe its worth exploring whole map area.

kill all magic mobs even

[rapid abyss]

I really need those waystones, they are hard to get 😭

[arctic crag]

what waystones?

[rapid abyss]

just in general

[arctic crag]

ah ok

[rapid abyss]

Idk the ideal self sustaining strats

[arctic crag]

What tier did you feel like you were not able to sustain?

[rapid abyss]

but I need to clear 8 of each (from t6-t10 I think) so it's like, a bit of a pain

[pastel geyser]

i would try a divine for this one and if it doesn't sell then go for like 50-60 exalts

[rapid abyss]

I started having some trouble at 5s I think

[distant knoll]

proper atlas build & make sure to actually upgrade them to rare to get the high droprate modifier

[rapid abyss]

all the way to rare?

[dull dagger]

anyone know why this map isnt being completed???

[civic talon]

Start alchjng

[vagrant summit]

where's the right place to report bugs? just killed zarokh for the first time and managed to die to leftover crap after he did, and now i don't have a resurrect button

[viral stratus]

Game seems to drop plenty of maps, sustain doesn't seem to be a problem

[rapid abyss]

I was told to just invest the orb of aug and transmutation and nothing past

I could invest in regal as well

[jagged hound]

You just got erased from the timeline
(Use the PoE2 forums)

[pastel geyser]

you should get Increased Quantity of waystones on the atlas tree and waystone drop tier up.

Also you can go into trade chat 1 and just buy like 3 tier 10-11 maps for 1 exalt each

[civic talon]

Mostly fine but alch if you're low

[pastel geyser]

it'll help you a lot if you jump to a higher tier map, and then play with the drops that come out of it

[spare fern]

minimum or Aug and transmutation but I would occasionally do an alchemy and regal if you have a bunch

[distant knoll]

yes. The difference is big (~90% -> 300+%)

[rapid abyss]

I have drop tier up

[pastel geyser]

generally avoid using alchemies, as they are expensive and can just be an exalt instead
Regals are fine

[rapid abyss]

which one is quantity?

[arctic crag]

I have just been doing blue maps so far. I plan on alching at around maybe T11.

[spare fern]

it's possible to get lower rates if it rolls two prefix instead of two suffix though

[distant knoll]

most people struggling to get waystones are usually never upgrading them to rare, meanwhile I regularly walk out with 5+ new waystones each map

[rapid abyss]

oh

[civic talon]

Aren't alchs a fraction of ex? Did something change?

[rapid abyss]

I should look for that

I swore I did not see crossroads in the main part of the atlas

[arctic crag]

magic limited to 1 prefix and 1 suffix

[rapid abyss]

Idk how you unlock those side trees

[distant knoll]

true that but it has to be worth the ex-investment; or just snipe high waystone keys for 1 chaos orb on the market and pray you get one

[vagrant summit]

well, i guess i got the 2 relic slots but didn't get my 4th ascendancy, that really sucks

[spare fern]

I've run a +500% increased waystone drops t12 and walked out with 1 t2 and 1 t3 though so still lots of rng

[pastel geyser]

they're pretty much 2-3 per exalt depending on the day
and 1 exalt gets you multiple T10-11 maps anyway

[distant knoll]

oh yes, its absolutely heartbreaking at times

[arctic crag]

hmm maybe I am wrong, have you had a magic waystone drop with 2 prefixes or 2 suffixes?

[civic talon]

That's fair, if you can find a bulk seller

[pastel geyser]

they also drop super infrequently, its not realy worth using alchs

[vagrant summit]

i ran a +400% t16 and managed to get a single t4 once

[pastel geyser]

not really a bulk seller necessary. just ask in trade. it exists for a reason

[rapid abyss]

what's the highest tier for maps?

16?

[jagged hound]

16

[rapid abyss]

half way there 🫡

[spare fern]

Magic is limited to 1 prefix and 1 suffix I was talking about after you regal it

[arctic crag]

btw I noticed that most drops in ultimatum and sanctum start at +1 level of the area level specified. So maybe the lower level ones are worth farming (plus you also get relics/soul cores etc)

[sour portal]

dude, does anyone fund the fact that you need to have "STUN THRESHOLD" to let your block take effect?

[rapid robin]

Does Sibilant catalyst add to my +spell ranks?

[spare fern]

I don't think so? unless maybe you can't block while stunned?

[sour portal]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1U7CcYaE9A/?share_source=copy_web&vd_source=ce7b02055f4eb32cd47bf3d04e27ce25
check my video, The same group of mob dealt no damage to me until a while after I lost a huge chunk of health, I assume that's when my stun threshold reached to max, and block no longer taking effect

[spare fern]

got it so yeah guess you can't block while stunned?

[sour portal]

The Icon of "Unwavering Stance" is the same as POE which doubles your stun threshold in POE2, and the block build will need this perk to mitigate stun after successfully blocked

[sour portal]

I think so, after reaching to max stun threshold would set your block to 0%, somehow this doesn't show on the character stats panel. It should be similar to the mechanism in POE1

[arctic crag]

have you checked poe2wiki? That might have detailed info or also dreamcore on youtube.

[sour portal]

I don't see any Wiki page breaking down the Block mechanism yet, but I've seen a lot of builds guided to stack 75% block w/o stun threshold which generally makes that 75% take no effect at all.

[arctic crag]

I havent played shield builds yet so I didnt bother to look. This doesn't seem as exensive as the poe1 block wiki page but still just says how active block fills stun meter https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Block

This is dreamcore's text version https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/mechanics#:~:text=Active-,Block,-Actively blocking is

[tepid vapor]

does cast on freeze proc on freeze buildup on bosses? or only on full freeze?

[radiant holly]

what's so good about this? i'm getting spammed pings at 15ex price, even though there are equally good ones for 1-5 ex on trade

[tepid vapor]

two resistances and huge max mana roll, suff and pref open for slamming

[cosmic lava]

having a hard time with map sustain, i've levelled the nodes that + map drops, is there more i can do for sustain?

[radiant holly]

ok didnt know the mana counted. i recognize the res is good but thought those would be all over the market by now

thank you @tepid vapor

[sour portal]

Yeah, it's not very clear. Considering the block in POE2 can affect both phys and spell damage, it would be too OP if only requires 75% block to immune 75% overall damage

[radiant holly]

i'm still on POE1 brain where mana is almost never a factor

[tepid vapor]

make sure you are doing your 300% or higher maps on boss nodes

[tepid vapor]

Mana stacker/ archmage is one of the most popular builds right now, so mana items are in very high demand

[radiant holly]

oh right, didnt think of that

thanks!

[swift bronze]

Is there a basic map guide somewhere?

[foggy wing]

I did my first map and died 1 time, then all portals close?

[swift bronze]

or is it just do maps until citadel?

[radiant holly]

yup. it's pretty dogshit, hoping they patch it somehow in Jan

[foggy wing]

oh shit

Then why do i had 6 portals

to get loot out?

[lavish stag]

Can you overwrite anoitments on necklaces?

[radiant holly]

pretty much, or to do a trade mid-map maybe

[sharp marten]

what is the best way to get mana and mana regen on monk ice strike(level 77)

does the end game npc vendor gear rotate ever?

[agile gale]

Any solution for sister of garukhan not giving 10+ lighting rez but marks it as completed on map ?

[glad narwhal]

hi is there a way to get greater jeweller orb? i found 1 perfect but no greater yet at t14

[dull dagger]

How important is capping resistances? i have 60-70% resistance in everything currently, should i be looking to cap them eventually?

[azure sleet]

how are rewards in delirium decided? touching portals and killing more enemies?

[vagrant summit]

very

60% resist is +60% damage taken compared to capped

[dull dagger]

isnt capped 75%??

[vagrant summit]

yes

75% resist=25% damage taken
for example, a 4000 damage hit would deal you 1000

60% resist=40% damage taken
that same 4000 damage hit would deal you 1600

[dull dagger]

well, when you put it like that lol

makes sense

thanks

[remote crescent]

Can someone explain what divine orbs do exactly? Does it randomize the tiers? The value within a tier? Something else entirely?

[foggy wing]

To complete a map i have to kill every monster?

[fresh grove]

I guess it's a bug when final boss in Sekhemas disappears after time clock phase?

I just got stuck in the fight, nothing happening

[remote crescent]

Just the rare ones I believe

[fresh grove]

this is way too annoying, I'll just get a carry now... hope they fix that crap :<

[foggy wing]

uf i have all the map explored, 6 monsters remain

cant find them

[remote crescent]

Do u have skulls on your minimap?

[foggy wing]

dont look like it

1 mosnter remains now

[remote crescent]

Yeah, bugs like that r just straight up annoying

[remote crescent]

U playin a normal map? Or one with a modifier?

[foggy wing]

Normal i think? only mods are increased magic pack size, chill ground, inc wayston

ok 0 monsters remain

[remote crescent]

In that case, I've got no clue

[foggy wing]

not completed i think because i still have to 0/10 t1 maps to complete

[fast sleet]

is this safe enough

for 4th ascension

[civic talon]

Not even a little close, 4th requires near perfect gear to solo

Or abusing a buggy scaling

I assume you mean pts 7-8

[fast sleet]

relics:

• self 5% max hp
• 19% honor restore
• 24% max honor
• 78% honor resist

ye pts 7-8

[warm vector]

I just made it to the Iron Citadel. What happens when I join the map? Do I have to fight a boss or something?

[civic talon]

You'll need at least 50% boss damage on relics too and at least 200k dps

[fast sleet]

damn

[civic talon]

The guy has like 10m health

[fast sleet]

how much is that compared to scorpion boss

[sleek jay]

at what point is regaling waystones worth it? never seems like it's got enough drops to me

[warm vector]

guys what does the Iron Citadel map do?

[tawny relic]

if a map node says "map attempted" cause you failed it, can it be influenced by towers for new modifiers?

[fast sleet]

i think i killed the scorpion in like 1-2 mins

[civic talon]

At 10k dps you would take 20 minutes or more to kill the 4th. Scorpion has like 1m or less i think?

[fast sleet]

damn

[civic talon]

Always, regals or alchs cheap. Probably wait till t13+ though and buy maps before that

[sleek jay]

yea, so T13, not always 😄 Guess I could have been more specific - at T10, prolly why it doesn't feel worth it

[civic talon]

It scales it massively but you can get maps below t15 cheap and fast in bulk instead

[sleek jay]

Yup, I do that just for getting through the quests - sustain is getting easier though, so may not need to

[civic talon]

Atlas points oversustain if you use rare maps

[sleek jay]

looking forward to it 😄

Plowing through T11+ pretty easily, so hoping to hit T14-15 tomorrow - tonight, bed time - tx for the feedback

[fast sleet]

would the trial be easier if the level is lower? or does that not matter at all

[civic talon]

Level does matter, but the order of magnitude still applies

[heady flax]

if a mod on a jewel says increase damage to bow, does that mean all bows or not crossbows?

[fast sleet]

i think the skills related included

oh uhh just bows not crossbows

[candid flicker]

how fast should i be clearing maps?

[olive barn]

are there no level 21 skill gems?

[ebon nimbus]

Any idea how to 5 slot poison concoction? Character level?

[stone laurel]

What do lost towers do?

[civic talon]

You can corrupt +1

It may not search as "gem level"

[olive barn]

ok thats good, was just wondering cause i didnt see any on the market

[civic talon]

It might be an explicit now rather than directly modifying the level, because you can uncarved upgrade corrupted gems

[olive barn]

any idea how to search for it?

oh

[civic talon]

You would make it by corrupting a 6l 20q gem, then it could be upgraded to base level 20 if it wasnt already

[olive barn]

i got this one at lvl 19 right now

but it sounds like it will be a big money dump lol

[tardy wave]

need help count geonor cruel

[olive barn]

give me your ign, but in the future theres an LFG group a bit further down for this

[arctic crag]

Why are my ilvls from vendors in hideout stuck at 60? Even expedition npcs

[civic talon]

It would be, some attempts would brick

[arctic crag]

I've done 7 attempts so far, I have +1 levels but I wanted to get a quicker upgrade to 4 sockets at early levels.

[burnt owl]

when do you guys suggest i try final sekhema trial? Playing as summoner so i dont mind the whole horon system, and have no idea how/where to fight trial master so thinking of trying sekhemas but idk at what point should i attempt to kill the final boss. Currently lvl 83 and clearing t11 with no effort whatsoever (including corrupted/irradiated boss maps)

[arctic crag]

The 4th one? You'd rather do this than trialmaster? (I have no idea, I am asking. Also I hate sanctum and have failed 3rd ascendancy thrice so far)

[marble fjord]

is there a search for against the darkness?

[burnt owl]

ye, the 4th floor. I was just running around the arena in circles and my minions slaughtered the scorpion in seconds...

[tepid vapor]

Does Chaos Innoc. need a bleed removal trinket?

[spare fern]

minimum coin level for 4th ascension is 80 I think. I'm a melee character though so even clearing t15 maps fine I'm struggling with just the 3rd ascension so I have no clue when you should try 4th as a summoner

[civic talon]

4th floor you need about 200k dps minimum so a good mark is if you kill fully juiced map bosses decently

[burnt owl]

i mean area lvl 76 says i can get my 4th ascendancy

[tepid vapor]

75 for trial 4, the boss doesnt hurt and the only issue is the time stop phase

I face tanked ~3000 honor damage getting him sub 30%, and died to the time stop

[burnt owl]

why? bleed goes to ur energy shield thats it...

[civic talon]

Gotta have enough dps though

[burnt owl]

can i do the timestop mech with 25% movespeed boots or do i have to get 40% movespeed boon during the trial?

[arctic crag]

what do you think of relic priorities? What are you mainly running? Honor resistance?

[spare fern]

oh lol guess 80 is just the lowest coin I've found yeah 75 it is then

[tepid vapor]

I was running honor res and max honor, as a life-based totem build, not a 10k ES build

Honor res kinda just lets you face tank anything

[tepid vapor]

I failed it with 30% boots and shield charge :x

not saying it cant be done, but hell if it is hard

[burnt owl]

guess ill need to give up couple of reavers for blink...

[burnt owl]

weird, i thought only poison bypasses shield idk then, but i dont think so: you would instantly die from 1st tick of bleed, making CI completely unplayable...

[arctic crag]

I was pure Evasion and struggling, the lowest barya I found was 65. I thnk I tried 65, 68, 69 or maybe 70 and failed them all in 3rd floor. My honor was roughly 2.5k with relics iirc.

[tepid vapor]

maybe my 75 block was contributing more than I thought

I legitimately was like in the 80s before I tried my 3rd asc

[civic talon]

They semi recently nerfed the scorpion

[tepid vapor]

I cant remember the minimum level for ascendancy 3, but it makes a huge difference

[burnt owl]

does the timelord or w/e his name is, deals chaos dmg? thats the only uncapped res i have...

[arctic crag]

min level is 60 but those are found in acts and seem super rare

[elder tulip]

is it normal to have 0 monsters left, yet the map being incomplete?

[burnt owl]

essence maybe?

[alpine rivet]

how tf do i kill a special enemy with "elemental aura, regenerates health"

[elder tulip]

what's that? there is nothing on my map (icons)

[burnt owl]

group ob mobs, stuck in crystal, that you need to click 3 times to unfreeze. Idk if they count towards "monsters remain" if they are still "frozen"

[fringe canyon]

Are there recommended strategies for mapping when it comes to precursor tablets? I just realized I can't re-play the nodes I've already completed.

[foggy wing]

why are tier 2 items?

[elder tulip]

thanks, will look for that, but i doubt i'd miss such a thing, i cleared the whole map

[burnt owl]

items that can roll only tier 2 and above prefixes/suffixes

[foggy wing]

oh so thats nice

[heady flax]

How does the currency npc work in game? where will people see my listing?

[gray ore]

They dont

They see the exchnge rate and decide what to put on

T20 orbs can drop in t15 +2 levels right

[heady flax]

ok so what if there is no market ratio?

im trying to trade 2 ire for 2 despair

[gray ore]

Then gl

Trade chats probably your best bet for such a niche trade

[heady flax]

there isnt one for this discord is there

[patent osprey]

How do the hosts do ascendancy carry? i'm confused how it works

[violet edge]

what's the point of unique maps? just completed one and mobs dropped nothing and there was nothing special about it

[subtle roost]

that’s untainted paradise

you get like 500% more experience

it’s from poe1

they’ll very probably add more unique maps in the future

[tall lantern]

can you change the anointment on an amulet, or is it a permanent thing?

[subtle roost]

yes, you can change it

[tall lantern]

neat

thanks for letting me know

[hidden roost]

Someone help me, my game closed and now it won't let me in, I get this error and it kicks me out of the game, if I enter with another character there is no problem, but now I can't play with my main character. I've searched for info and I get the same thing but from POE 1

[subtle roost]

how long ago did this start happening

[hidden roost]

Half an hour ago, the game closed and now it only lets me in with other characters

[subtle roost]

weird. stuff like that usually clears after 20 mins

were you in a map?

[fresh grove]

does king in the mists have any oneshot mechanics?

[hidden roost]

wow, yeah

I have no idea. reach out to support maybe, or try reinstalling

How much honour resistance and increased defenses can I stack up to for floor 4 trial of sekhemas?

[subtle roost]

75 for the former without + max increase

techincally unlimited for the latter

[hidden roost]

I can't find support here on Discord, the game has no problems because it lets me in if I choose another of my characters

[subtle roost]

reach out to poe support

thx

If you think you've lost your weapons, you've probably swapped to the alternate weapon tabs by pressing X. Please try toggling back with the X key before posting a bug report about it.
lmao

[inland igloo]

Do you know the most efficient way to buy these off the market? probably just 4 pieces around 18% honour resist with some increase def spread throughout?

[agile karma]

how does this work Ive done test of strength and will

[subtle roost]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/4lWyY6vS9

something like that, I guess

[deep adder]

Rule 6. No trading, begging, asking for 'loans', giveaways, tips for services, etc for any game. See #trading for alternatives.

[charred mesa]

any large wrinkly brained map knowers able to tell me if im doing anything wrong or give me some tips, im monk, lvl 87, i just wanna im not missing anything crucial while im setting up towers etc

[subtle roost]

just ask the question

[buoyant crystal]

Should i do delerium before/after clearing a map?

[subtle roost]

If you can do it immediately, do it

[charred mesa]

am i doing it wrong if im just juicing up my waystones with regals and even corrupting them sometimes, or using distilleds as well, just working tower to tower, throwing in precursors that are generally irradiated, or throwing in ones that give higher waypoint return

[buoyant crystal]

normal ads dont drop the stuff tho?

[subtle roost]

assuming it's anything like poe1, you get increased quant

regardless, do you really want to backtrack all the way to the entrance?

[buoyant crystal]

i honestly dont mind

if it means more delerium

[narrow hearth]

do you guys know why t15 - t16 bosses are not dropping atlases for me?

i had them back to back for a bit and then nothing

[subtle roost]

irradiate them, also run them on corrupted

[narrow hearth]

i am running them all irradiated

ok

corrupted waystones?

[subtle roost]

do both

no, the other corruption thing

[narrow hearth]

btw can i see your map atlas boss?

[subtle roost]

i'm playing SSF now

new char :3

[narrow hearth]

oh right

[subtle roost]

don't think it does

[subtle roost]

depends a lot on atlas setup

[buoyant crystal]

k ill try it at the start. Sometimes i get a timer if im not clearing fast enoguh though?

[subtle roost]

sounds okay though

[buoyant crystal]

or am I just outside of the fog?

[subtle roost]

outside of the fog

[buoyant crystal]

I swear theres times im in the middle of the map (in the fog) and a timer starts

[charred mesa]

ive also found 2 of my citadels now, but if i die on the attempt do i lose them?

[subtle roost]

yes

[buoyant crystal]

id assume so

Im 99% sure theres a timer for delirium

sometimes it bugs and there isnt

[narrow hearth]

thats where im at now

but idk if i go straight

there is no way to get the one on the far right no?

[narrow hearth]

strongbox kinda sucks

[buoyant crystal]

strongbox isnt even worth the time lmao

[narrow hearth]

i think ill go for essence

[subtle roost]

that's correct, excluding the random spawn part

[buoyant crystal]

well ya lol

its timed though so its prob best to do it after

inefficient for time but more effecient for distilled emotions

[narrow hearth]

7 bosses 0 atlas i think its because i didnt spec LMAO

[agile karma]

does trial of sekema give back the token if you fail?

[subtle roost]

only if it's got a green name

[rare maple]

whats this?

[subtle roost]

pinnacle boss area

[narrow hearth]

what happens when i did all the engame map

i see some edges and it scares me

xD

[rare maple]

pinnacle boss already wtf

[subtle roost]

it's pretty much infinite

i mean, you're just looking at it

[rare maple]

im in tier 1. im guessing i should leave it alone?

[subtle roost]

you can't enter yet

[rare maple]

ah okay

[narrow hearth]

u sure?

[subtle roost]

takes probably well over 300 maps to get the keys for it

[narrow hearth]

yeah

[subtle roost]

yes

[rare maple]

so should i do the maps near it or leave them until i can do the boss?

[subtle roost]

do them if they're any good

[proven patio]

Which one is better, I figured the crackling, but it says 3k damage loss on my ice strike.

[tidal geode]

are gems hardcapped at 40?

[tepid vapor]

do any items have spirit affixes other than chest/sceptre?

[subtle roost]

there's also a unique shield

uniqiue helmet too

[tepid vapor]

what is the helmet?

Not here

But there are resources: tft, maxroll

[agile karma]

how do I know how much crit I have

[frigid lantern]

if i put a precursor tablet into a tower will they change the completed maps or do they stay completed

[static jackal]

died in HC maps, and now inn SC i cant use the map device in my hideout please help

[weary slate]

Anyone know how exactly the % increase effect of small passives in radius works on Time-lost Jewels? I've got a 22% increase and it's not increasing my attributes that are +5

[burnt owl]

i beleive only small nodes from clusters count, aka no "stat" nodes

[weary slate]

Oh interesting I wonder why that isn't stated anywhere

[burnt owl]

whole bunch of stuff is not stated anywhere, at least for now, but i think on passive tree we got "attribute nodes", "small passive nodes", "notables" and "keystones" oh and jewel nodes ofc

[weary slate]

So I guess just to be clear in how these jewels work. Small passives get the additional effects, such as more resist or shock reduction. These are only cluster small passives, not attributes. Then those same cluster small passives can get increased by up to 30(?)%? Including the base small passive stats AND the additionally added ones?

[rare maple]

does moment of zen with higher tier map get better loot

[burnt owl]

uhh itll be easier if you just link the jewel in question: im not sure i understood what you mean there...

[rotund crescent]

if i didnt do some of the side quest in normal acts and got to cruel cna i still find it and do it?

[subtle roost]

yes

[rotund crescent]

ok ty

[sage jackal]

does delirium ignore annointed maps?

or does it stack

[subtle roost]

doesn't stack

[weary slate]

This one for example. Affecting a +10% crit chance cluster node. The end result would be that node giving:
10% × 1.3 = 13% crit chance
1% × 1.3 = 1% accuracy rating
2% × 1.3 = 3% cast speed (round up from 2.6?)
3% × 1.3 = 4% damage to rare

[pale swallow]

any of these effect "increased rarity"?

[subtle roost]

rarity has no associated tag

[burnt owl]

Yes, your are correct, except i wouldnt be so sure about rounding up: GGG is not known for such generosity, i would round down just in case XD

[sage jackal]

can we stack time lost jewels btw?

since it doesnt say limit 1

[burnt owl]

i dont think there are jewel nodes close enough? maybe im wrong there, idk on that one

[shadow shadow]

what's better superior or prime cache?

[sage jackal]

i mea like use more than 1

in tree

[subtle roost]

prime

[shadow shadow]

ty ty

[weary slate]

Interestingly - I think Poe2 may change that according to corruption testing as corrupting can increase a uniques properties by up to 22%.
" It seems that numbers as low as 3% can be vaaled to 2% or 4%, but 2% values cannot increase or decrease. This probably supports the round up-down idea (31.22=3.66 rounded to 4, 30.78=2.34 rounded down to 2)." -some reddit guy

But after all, I'm also just some random guy who is not doing any testing lol

[burnt owl]

i mean sure, you can but its probably not a great idea: you want to take as many nodes around such jewel as possible and theres usually not that many places on the tree where you want to do that.

[sage jackal]

i have 2 good places

with 7 passives 3 notables

[burnt owl]

yeah, sounds about right: most builds would have 1-2 good spots but like 4-5 jewel nodes taken, maybe even more for some specific builds

[charred wharf]

I got killed in first 14 map by an on death thing barely on screen. I’m frustrated because I have maxed out resistances, only 10% chaos I think, and the game gives me no information about what actually killed me. I’m an infernalist witch. How can I learn how to prevent this from happening? What can I do?

[patent lagoon]

On deaths don't kill you across screen. But max out chaos for one thing

[burnt owl]

funny that i had to dig through my relics to find this info, but here it is, for anyone who is curious: Honor res is capped at 75% by default and cannot go above 90%

[patent lagoon]

You need to avoid elites for about 4-5 seconds after kill also

Don't go near them

[charred oriole]

I'm guessing you got altered flesh on infernalist right?

[patent lagoon]

Guys how do you "Travel to the iron citadel" and Stone one? Is it just continue mapping and keep going into unknown territory?

Or is there a way to travel there

[craggy fern]

what do to with extra skill cut gems?

[burnt owl]

First option is to wait: thay already nerfed these kinds of effects and said they will be looking in better telegraphing them. Second option is to build more tanky: as a witch, you got an option of going both grim feast AND max block. I know its tempting to go all-in on dmg but in poe, thats not an option (unless you are stupid rich that is) So invest in more in defensive nodes, depending on what type of defence you are using.

[burnt owl]

oh and keep in mind that getting oneshot in t15 maps is a known issue that a lot of players are complaining about, so we are expecting at least some changes after the holidays

[rose palm]

speaking of Trials
gonna plug this because I haven't found this info elsewhere (not compilated by base type, at least), so I made it
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UzuasNHnO4jV4skMASPTKn3ojMQcPbtM1hd-t2vhNu8/edit?usp=sharing

for quick checking how good the mods on your relic drops are, and planning setups

[crisp nova]

whats this mean to change one of the parameters?

like what can i change

[rose palm]

several choices such as "remove a random boon+random affliction" or "gain a random boon/random affliction" or "gain this specific boon/specific affliction"

you can back out if you don't like either

[brisk grail]

do i have to do anything for Zarokh to drop The Last Flame? or is it just rng

[crisp nova]

would i be alone in thinking its not worth gambling that then?

my other option is just a sacred water fountain

[rose palm]

if it's "gain a random affliction", absolutely not worth
otherwise depends on whether you want to get rid of anything bad

you get 3 options btw\

[crisp nova]

i guess i could remove one of these bad boys

[rose palm]

try it then

[crisp nova]

yeah i currently am

[rose palm]

can't spend sacred water if you get like 2 offers from merchant

[olive barn]

am i doing breach wrong? cant really tell. I kill the enemies that spawn and i keep moving as the breach area expands, then at some point there is no enemies anymore and then the breach ends.

[tepid vapor]

with Mind Over Matter, does ES protect Mana?

[olive barn]

yes

if u manage to get es

[rough reef]

Do I socket evasion runes in this, or keep it as it is? I'm planning on selling it and don't know how evasion builds work.

[subtle roost]

as is

[strange steeple]

hello guys after i do the t15 mapping quest what do i do next? i can't find where to initiate the next quest

[rough reef]

thanks

[tepid vapor]

Pinnacle of flame is the only quest left after that. other than clearing map mechanic content bosses as well

[strange steeple]

how do i do this stuff? i'm just wandering around aimlessely in maps clearing t15s

[tepid vapor]

yea....sadly that is the way to do it, unless you wanna use t1s to travel as far as fast as possibe

looking for citadels

[strange steeple]

when i first started maps i saw some interesting buildings that i never ended up going to i hope i didn't miss out on anything

because im very far away from the start now lol

[tepid vapor]

Pinnacle of flame starts at the giant bloody monolith near the start

you can always go back on the map and head in another direction

[swift bronze]

Can I leave in the middle of a chaos trial and come back?

[lunar kraken]

Farm enough currency to buy boss invitations for the endgame mechanic u want to do, then run the endgame mechanic to farm even more currency.

Max all atlas trees, kill all bosses on all difficulties 🫡

It's terrible but it's all we have

[arctic crag]

No. I was able to leave and come back even after I logged out but probably because instance was saved. I opened the next day and it was closed. Just did this to test.

[simple sparrow]

how much is it worth juicing non boss t15 maps? most are irradiated so t16 i guess

just not sure if its worth fully exalting and delirium juicing with how expensive that'd work out to

[stiff musk]

anyone know the magic find breakpoint?
is it 50 > 150 > 250

[arctic crag]

Interesting there’s a breakpoint?

[dry ruin]

are we supposed to be alcing maps? i've only been doing magic ones and am at t9

[stiff musk]

or more like whats worth more

[arctic crag]

I was asking about this earlier today and we don’t seem to any calcs on how much the % correlates? Or was it just me who couldn’t find.

[arctic crag]

Just regal?

I’m also just starting mapping and have been regaling since t6

[lunar kraken]

Regal until t15, then alch + exalt until u hit 3 prefix

[dry ruin]

if i had been regaling this whole time i think i would run out

[near plank]

regal orbs are cheap at currency exchange

[safe cradle]

There are but we don't know the breakpoints

[faint swan]

Is MoM + CI only doable with the everlasting gaze necklace? i just don't see how you can cast spells and regain mana after taking a big hit with just the passive tree and some mana regen on armor

[tribal inlet]

#$@#$@# trial BS

[olive barn]

is there any content like the 5ways that were in poe1

[stiff musk]

never ever take mirror

if u take mirror just restart

thats like the number 1 rule

[tribal inlet]

Last room before trial 4 boss, I know now

[olive barn]

you want help?

[tribal inlet]

It should only last until the next boss or something

[olive barn]

or can i even come in there?

[stiff musk]

or u can jsut invite someone

to kill the boss for u

[tribal inlet]

Naw I'll get it eventually, I died as soon as I entered combat

[olive barn]

oh rip

i was gonna say i dont use energy shield

[tribal inlet]

I must have been at a negative honor

[stiff musk]

dont take u cant see room ahead and u are teleported to random

[arctic crag]

same but ES seems OP for sanctum

[near plank]

ahahahahahaha

[tribal inlet]

I don't normally but got trapped

[olive barn]

lol

[arctic crag]

hmm how much honor does CI give?

[olive barn]

honor?

[arctic crag]

yeah

The honor calc seemed to be based on life, ES

[olive barn]

oh i have no idea tbh

i got some good relics and went in once and i got 20k honour

but i had energy shield at the time

with 1 life

[stiff musk]

is there any point of MF after dev remove currency drop for it

[olive barn]

and my honour resistance was so high it barely went down

but i got 1 shotted by some trap somehow

and never went back to those trials lol

i got caught in some fireball throwing trap and it spammed fireballs at mach speed and dead

[near plank]

MF gives more currency in poe 2

it's not like poe 1

[tribal inlet]

Every trial death I have had has been slapstick comically unfun lol

[olive barn]

are you trying to get your 4th ascendancy?

[tribal inlet]

And the damn Chaos ultimatum trials, I've had my game crash on the last two, and it doesn't let me reenter, so I quit those

[arctic crag]

ah ok, I was just specifically curious about how the interaction worked with 1 life.

[tribal inlet]

1 life and 0/0 ES you would get 1-5 honor I would suspect, but if it was reduced there by afflictions and you took any damage at all you would be at 0 or -x

[arctic crag]

I tried to farm some level 70 chaos/ultimatum today and the game was very choppy on PS5, kept getting worse and unplayable after the first boss.

Tried another one like a couple hours later and was the same. Not sure if there was a patch. PS downloads it in sleep mode.

[fading basin]

melee endgame doesnt feel very fun lol im gonna level adifferent build til i can fund this one ig

[stiff musk]

is there any point of MF after dev remove currency drop for it

[olive barn]

but anyway if yall want help i can join you in the trials

personally got my ascendancy through chaos

[narrow hearth]

can i ask to people in deep endgame how you are gaining atlas points beyond the 30/30 tree? i got just a few in map boss and that's it. nothing more since 10 boss maps. what's happening?

[tribal inlet]

Kill bosses in tier 15 maps with the deadly boss modifier for boss points, atlas points cap at 30

[narrow hearth]

i know, i am talking about the rest

i already got the 30 points

[stiff musk]

do their separate mission

[narrow hearth]

but the only mission is to get the citadel...

[stiff musk]

its not there

if u want ritual points do an audience with the king

breaches require 300 breach splinter for the thing

[hallow orchid]

Any advice on getting higher tier jeweller orbs? I have done like 55+ maps but no luck

[narrow hearth]

there is nothing written, so what are the missions?

[stiff musk]

there are

[narrow hearth]

where?

[olive barn]

actually i had a map with ritual and the 4 rituals gave me 2k currency - the audience was 4k. How can i get the audience?

[stiff musk]

if u just hover

u can actually read

[narrow hearth]

actually, how do you get to the atlas book through your hotkey

[stiff musk]

?

[narrow hearth]

because i can only get there through the doryani

[stiff musk]

cntrl u

[winter obsidian]

As an infernalist, when I allocate CI, some of my persistent minions disappear; the game says I dont have enough spirit. But why? What makes my spirit go down??

[hallow orchid]

complete simulacrum mean fighting a boss right?

[narrow hearth]

i see ok

[stiff musk]

either buy with div or increase ur mob size

more mob = more currency

[hallow orchid]

it possible to def the audience something?

defer

[stiff musk]

i think u can

i dont do ritual idk

[narrow hearth]

but for example i did t16 irradiated and i got nothing, so what went wrong?

[hallow orchid]

i wanna run expeditions but.. drop rates for logbooks are just sad

[olive barn]

yes i got a total of 1 book out of around 15-20 expeditions

[hallow orchid]

btw at what map tier does greater jeweller orb drop?

or it's just absurbly low

[near plank]

it can drop in campaign

[stiff musk]

u can drop a mirror on act 1

if u lucky

[olive barn]

i wasnt even lucky enough to drop a unique item on act 1

[stiff musk]

this is what i found for magic find

so is 100 MF pointless if im not going 150

[hallow orchid]

rip..

[wise walrus]

playing stampede warrior, I want to anoint my neck but I'm struggling to find one that doesn't cost a billion exalts because of the distilled stuff. Whats a good one to grab early?

[subtle roost]

"costly"?

[wise walrus]

I've been trying to look around but I haven't found anything

[hallow orchid]

wait.. rarity from atlas tree comes to play right?

[stiff musk]

probably the cost to get 150%

[jaunty crystal]

just random low chance drop, got my first drop at around 60h of playing, then 2 more within one hour at 150h of playing, good luck hunting

[stiff musk]

like 50% is cheap

[near plank]

??? who is claiming there are breakpoints and what do the breakpoints do?

[narrow hearth]

as in increased rarity drop?

[wise walrus]

I have some of the first 5 types of distilled stuffs so I can get that.

[stiff musk]

im asking if there is

[jaunty crystal]

look for 25% attack damage, kinda cheap, there is 3 same buffs but one of them is cheap

[olive barn]

would any of these 3 be enough for 4k ritual currency?

[near plank]

https://distill-a-skill.netlify.app/

[olive barn]

and is the audience always a guarantee?

[stiff musk]

no clue i dont do ritual

[wise walrus]

Thanks I'll take a loot a it! and thank you for the link @near plank I'll instestimigate! thank you both so much

This was driving me insane

[hallow orchid]

come to think of it.. if i anoint an amulet can i anoint another in future?

*the same amulet

[stiff musk]

yes

[jaunty crystal]

replaces effect

[fleet steppe]

huhn? mouse over the 2/8 or whatever on the atlas tree. It will tell you what you need to do for the next set of poitns

[fleet steppe]

check your keybinding in settings > input

[narrow hearth]

yes and it seems i have been doing stuff at lvl 81 monster even but never got points and idk why

i've done all of them at least once in t15 / t16 and got nothing

even boss maps aren't dropping

[young notch]

Hello, I'm hittng a bit of a wall, playing cold monk build but feeling squishy, does anyone know how effective Protect me from harm is if i'm only evasion stacking?

[narrow hearth]

this for example should be getting me a point yes?

[fleet steppe]

you already got the poitns for 15/16, you need additional difficulties now

are you specced into it on the boss tree?

[narrow hearth]

but look i got almost nothing

[narrow hearth]

apart from map boss i got almost nothing... and even if i do t16 corrupted i get nothing

t16 corrupted / irradiated

what more can i do?

and same story with other nodes, nothing happens if i do a breach lvl 80+ or delirium or whatever

[narrow hearth]

i will do this and see if i gain anything

[fleet steppe]

do'nt think so

[narrow hearth]

but what do i do then ...

[fleet steppe]

higher level? have you done beyond/irradiated T16?

[stiff musk]

its not the delirium or whatever

u need to do the map

the special map

[fleet steppe]

each of beyond and irradiated give +1 level

[narrow hearth]

how can i go beyond that?

[hallow orchid]

90 hrs so far on poe2. ouch

[narrow hearth]

whats the special map?

[stiff musk]

an audience with the king will grant u points for ritual
breachstone give u points for breach

it says there in the description

[loud fable]

hey guys if i buy skins, is it account wide ? and also will i be able to use them through seasons?

[stiff musk]

yep

if u go to poe 1 u still get it

[fleet steppe]

also this is only difficulty 3
ahve you done difficulty 4

[loud fable]

oh cool thankss

[stiff musk]

simulacrium gives point for delirium

[fleet steppe]

beyond + irradiate + T16

[narrow hearth]

i dont think so

i was keeping t16 for bosses only

[stiff musk]

btw for all 8 ritual points its 20div

[fleet steppe]

i mean do a boss in one of those maps

but no it's probably difficulty

[narrow hearth]

so when you say a special map you mean a boss map?

[fleet steppe]

when did i say special map

[narrow hearth]

coral did

[fleet steppe]

that's for breach/deli

[stiff musk]

i did not say for boss its special

[fleet steppe]

nothing to do with boss tree

for boss tree it's higher difficult

[fleet steppe]

this is only difficulty 3, do a difficulty 4 boss

[narrow hearth]

ok, hold on

[narrow hearth]

i am rereading everything you say to not ask stupid questions

[stiff musk]

for ritual example

complete crux of nothingness map to earn point for ritual atlas

[narrow hearth]

so for example this grants nothing because its not corrupted and irradiated yes?

[fleet steppe]

no, you should(?) only need 79+

but you need to be on difficulty 4

[narrow hearth]

ok, sorry for asking again, how do i know i am on difficulty 4?

im just taking it step by step

[fleet steppe]

read the tree nodes

[fleet steppe]

you can click the underlined words for glossary

[narrow hearth]

this is what mine says

[fleet steppe]

right

you ahve 3 diificulty

so try a 4....

[narrow hearth]

im going to try to rush to a boss node hold on

[fleet steppe]

you need to be on difficulty 4

[narrow hearth]

i am just confused to how to tell it diff 1 - 2 - 3 - 4

[fleet steppe]

how many difficulty nodes do you have

you can count them

1 2 3

[narrow hearth]

is that it?

sorry if i sound dumb i have legit no clue xD

[fleet steppe]

bruh

the small nodes

[stiff musk]

is this easier for u

[fleet steppe]

you have 3 of them

[narrow hearth]

this is what i am on

[fleet steppe]

so difficulty 3

yes

[stiff musk]

u have 3 small nodes

of + 1

[narrow hearth]

ok so i am supposed to reallocate to one more diff

[stiff musk]

u need 4

[fleet steppe]

i've said like 4 timesthat you're on diffiuclty 3

[narrow hearth]

ok

[fleet steppe]

yes

[narrow hearth]

sorry but i didnt understand that

thanks for clarifying

[frigid lantern]

does moment of zen scale with tier and rarity of map?

[stiff musk]

do that

[narrow hearth]

ok got it

[stiff musk]

now kill a boss

[narrow hearth]

and after that, i add another node to boss diff to get more?

[stiff musk]

no

wait

i think so, burning monolith grants 2 as well if u want that

[narrow hearth]

yeah it says pinnacle flames

[stiff musk]

would it grant 2 for boss tree and 2 for uber tree @fleet steppe

[narrow hearth]

after 4 it has no effect on drops so it would be wasted to add more boss difficulty, but for points?

[turbid kernel]

My game has suddenly started crashing constantly in my hideout. Like, it consistently just closes without an error message if I spend enough time there, never had the issue before today. Is this a known issue with a fix?

[fleet steppe]

no that's probably all the points

did you also do 2 for pinnacle of flame

[narrow hearth]

no

[fleet steppe]

right, that's the last 2

[narrow hearth]

but that would set me a 9/10

[fleet steppe]

?

[narrow hearth]

do i do boss diff 4 twice?

for the next 2 pts?

oh nvm

sorry

got it

[frigid lantern]

does moment of zen scale to tier and rarity of the map?

[turbid kernel]

Figured out the crash. It's Power Siphon. No idea why I only just started having the issue but at least it's avoidable

[blissful garnet]

Does anyone know if rarity works on expedition monsters/chests?

[stiff musk]

whats the best way to farm essences

and does MF affect essences

[slender cloud]

Can I unscoket this ring or no?

[narrow hearth]

and now i got nothing.... rip

think i still gotta complete map

[near plank]

because they misinformed you

first 2 points from t15 boss kill, next 2 from t16 boss kill, next 2 from t17 boss kill, next 2 from t18 boss kill

[narrow hearth]

this one was a t16 kill

to get t17 you mean map has to be irradiated

and then irradiated and corrupted?

with the +4 diff?

[near plank]

vaal is another source of +1

[narrow hearth]

[narrow hearth]

ok

well i still needed the node so it was true too

thanks

[narrow hearth]

btw if i vaal a rare waystone will it go to t16 as rare as well?

[tall lantern]

is trial of sekhema royal cache the best spot for unique jewels?

[frigid lantern]

Those things are worth a divine orb you know

[lunar belfry]

question about delirium nodes, are you supposed to run around after going through the mirror? or stay close to where it spawned.

managed to get distilled ire, not sure if i couldve gotten more

[frigid lantern]

Look for glowing spots to keep the timer from going off

And kill things

[tall lantern]

aye i've seen this but thanks, just checking there isn't a better spot

its a nice break from mapping when you dont have to stress about ascendancy

[frigid lantern]

The more you kill the more delirium you get

[ivory iris]

i got the king of mist bug, where you can't get the skull for getting 30 spirit, is there any solutions?

or i can't really do anything?

[tall lantern]

in act 1 cruel?

[frigid lantern]

You in cruel?

It doesn’t spawn in cruel

[tall lantern]

you dont get a skull from him in crue;. next spirit drop is from azog bog in act 3 cruel

[lunar belfry]

thank you

[tall lantern]

40+ spirit

[ivory iris]

what's cruel?

like the difficulty?

[lunar belfry]

is there a way to open the instilling menu without delirium?

[tall lantern]

the second run of acts 1 - 3

[plush kindle]

Anyone can tell me what language is that? I'm about to open negotiation through google translate 🤣

[frigid lantern]

Idk Chinese

[ivory iris]

nah normal mode

are you suppose to get 60 spirit in act 1?

or only 30?

and u get more spirit in act 3?

[frigid lantern]

30

[magic galleon]

it's chinese

[plush kindle]

Thanks!

[frigid lantern]

You get 30 more in act 3

[ivory iris]

this applys in normal mode ye?

you only get 30 in act 1

not only cruel

[frigid lantern]

Yes a chart!

[ivory iris]

ooooooooo

i see

cause i can't use a spesific skill because of it needing 60 spirit, and i'm still in act 2

so i thought i missed something in act 1

but nvm

[frigid lantern]

You can get spirit on amulets and armor

But I would just wait till act 3

[ivory iris]

ahhh ok ty very much

[viral stratus]

game is acting really odd. had 2 maps behave weird, 1st map had a completion killing the first and only yellow monster. i then had another map, 0 monsters remain that didn't clear. very odd, going to reboot game and hope it goes away

[kind token]

are projectile pierce the same as pierce?

following an archmage spark guide right now but i can't find the "projectile pierce" anywhere

[fleet steppe]

only proj can pierce yes

[near plank]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/Yr4Y67DhY

[magic galleon]

"Chance to pierce an enemy" i think is the suffix

[keen coral]

Does lvlng up increases ur resistances?

[magic galleon]

only if you get to those nodes on your passive tree. otherwise, it's all about your gear

[olive barn]

i know, i bought it lol

[mental turtle]

Can someone explain to me how this would work on the skill
"Spark"

[near plank]

it makes the sparks last longer

[olive barn]

i use it and i dont really know, but if i had to guess its the projectile duration

[fleet steppe]

spark has this

[mental turtle]

but once the shock hits, and you dont have pierce

doesnt it kill that shock

?

[magic galleon]

(meaning it keeps going longer than the 2s, hence more distance)

[fleet steppe]

yes

so get pierce

[mental turtle]

i see

[fleet steppe]

/less useful without pierce

[mental turtle]

tyyty

[olive barn]

would getting pierce not reduce dps?

[near plank]

this is critical info for spark

[mental turtle]

mec

this is my current setup

[fleet steppe]

this is poe1 no?

[mental turtle]

what would you change?

[near plank]

works the same in poe2

[olive barn]

so does this mean since i dont use pierce i should swap it out for something else?

[mental turtle]

how the hell u get that much damage on spark

[olive barn]

[kind token]

thank you 🫡

[mental turtle]

i have a RF set up right now but

[near plank]

pierce is a significant clearspeed improvement for spark, but not a significant single target improvement

[mental turtle]

lemme see ur full set? @olive barn ?

[olive barn]

i see. im not having issues with clear so

[near plank]

specifically, it improves clearspeed in high mob density situations sucha s breach

[mental turtle]

i am curious as to where ur gtting that dps

[olive barn]

when i deactivate my archmage it goes down to 32k

ill send it in a pm

[kind token]

is it possible to get all 8 ascendancy points before finishing the campaign?

curious if i can pay somebody to boost up my alt with twink gear to all 8 ascendancy points

[hidden pollen]

I just died for the 3rd time on the 3rd floor trial of Sekemas boss… does any do carries for this BS?

[olive barn]

you should be able to

[olive barn]

people sell it

but if u wanna get back to the boss and call me ill help you for free

[kind token]

sorry, one last thing, how much does help for that usually go for?

ik it's usually 40ex on the fourth ascendancy, is it just 40 per ascendancy?

[grave sky]

how do some people have 5 sockets in their body armors?

[olive barn]

it looked pretty cheap, in exalts usually and differs depending on the ascendancy

[grave sky]

is this hard to get?

[olive barn]

i have no idea the specific cost tho, TFT discord ppl sell it and also some ppl on trade chat in game

[grave sky]

i thought you can only corrupt something once?

[olive barn]

the unique ones?

[ebon hearth]

I can't check in game cuz still no internet ( snowstorms ew ) but what r rates od exalt:divine?

[grave sky]

yeah how do you do that?

[olive barn]

around 70 exalts for 1 divine

[olive barn]

welll this chest piece drops with 4 sockets, you just corrupt it and hope

[grave sky]

oh what is it called?

[ebon hearth]

ah so it's still around that, thanks

[olive barn]

I got a few of these from burning monolith boss

[low osprey]

Does Honour in sanctum take MoM into effect when calculating your maximum Honour?

[signal helm]

What’s the best way to check what are the available suffix / prefix rolls on an equipment piece ?

[candid junco]

doing a map with a boss on it, go in and kill the boss, now i am stuck in the arena, i cant click on arena to exit, and tried to tp out and back in, anything i can do to not lose my map?

[low osprey]

poe2db.tw

[low osprey]

I think you are boned

[foggy axle]

question, if I am using ice strike as my main skill and I am scaling lightning damage, does it gonna be okay? or I need to change skill for more effect?

[olive barn]

that happened to me yesterday, i had to give up on the map

[gritty solar]

anybody seen this before? It won't let me reenter my ongoing trial.

[lunar belfry]

Dying cause mobs spawning in makes me lag is feel bad

[potent ember]

yow, for levelling monk, what should I slot with Ice strike and Falling thunder? Pls do 2-3 slots, thank you 🙂

[patent current]

i do ~1% of his hp per minute and im losing my mind, im afk in the corner and he has stoped attacking me. i'll pay 1 div for someone to come in and kill him (if thats even a thing you can join)

[inland mesa]

anyone in washington servers wanna carry through 3rd ascend? we will pay ( boss ready)

[candid junco]

it seems like the only work around is to NOT TP after killing the boss, exit to login, it will take you back to your hideout, and then you can use a tp to get back into the map. if you tp out, it will put you back into the boss room, RIP my map, i used a tp 😦

[cinder basalt]

have to invite before you're in there i believe if you want someone to kill it

[patent current]

:C

[simple hamlet]

Why does it keep defaulting me back to act 3 ziggurat encampment in the past everytime I log in? I always log out at my hideout.

[narrow marsh]

does tribute from rituals carry on to next map, or just burned when you get out of the map

[frigid lantern]

Need help on boss fight jamanra hard stuck ign Drax_ner

[olive barn]

what do the clasped hands in twisted domain do?

i clicked on them and they opened but i didnt notice any effects

[austere sandal]

are t16s actually 1 divine?

[olive barn]

no

[austere sandal]

they give you loot

but at the end of the breach

[olive barn]

oh gotcha

[olive barn]

on the trading website you can filter the currency by exalted orbs

[austere sandal]

hm so I guess they are only abt 7-8 exalts

ok

[vocal temple]

rattling sceptre lvl 21, only had 2 minions, is this correct ?

[charred wharf]

Does the "lessened reach" trial of chaos mod which causes 50% less area of effect impact my minions (witch, arsonists)?

[frigid lantern]

What are the chances on chance orbs

I keep getting screwed over by them

[valid eagle]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/rs6670m8

guys In just wanted to ask how does he get all the int needed for the build

[exotic gazelle]

how do you start upgrading these?

[proper hazel]

highlight the 0/8 area and it will tell you how to get points for those trees

[exotic gazelle]

ah tyvm

[vagrant summit]

ritual try to spawn enough enemies challenge (impossible)

[dry lance]

any monk using protect me from harm? how much evasion do i need on my body armour to get 195 spirit?

[fleet steppe]

...Isn't it just math

or am I misunderstanding smth

[slim sinew]

hello i dont know but my warrior titan is getting one shot everytime i fight anymonster

i need help

[dry lance]

yea it is, nvm i was confused with the + evasion and % inc evasion ratings and didnt realise i could check the overall evasion

[turbid kernel]

What are your defenses and where are you getting one shot?

[slim sinew]

in t12 i got one shot

and my armor is

8k

[turbid kernel]

What about life and resists? Armor mostly protects against small phys hits, you can't really rely on it as your only defense.

[lunar kraken]

Build ES or find a way to hit 7k HP

[slim sinew]

28 % fire and 53% and 75% lighting and chaos 24%

my hp is 2908

[lunar kraken]

Oh.. yea u need 75 to all res first

Most important thing

[slim sinew]

what is the best armor for warriro titan

i can buy it if you list it for me if you be so kind

[turbid kernel]

Yeah, there's your problem. By T12 maps you really need 75% resists, especially ele. You're taking three times as much fire damage as you should.

[turbid kernel]

There isn't a specific best armor, you just need resists from your gear

[slim sinew]

i see i should get more resist not more armor?

[bold mortar]

man, rituals are so not fun..

spawns enemies directly on top of me
while a tornado is whirling
game lags because so many things spawned at once
die
lose exp and the waystone

[slim sinew]

thx alot dude

[burnt owl]

Yes, in poe, both 1 and 2, as soon as you reach maps/waystones, 1st priority is to 75 elemental resistances. 2nd priority is to get good life/es/mana rolls (depending on what kind of build you are running) and 3rd prio is to get chaos to 75. Def/Eva is only important in a sense of what item base you are chosing to wear, like if you are armor-stacking titan, and only use pure armor bases, you will have high def no matter what, so def/eva specifically is never a priority

[sage jackal]

ritual doesnt scale with map mods yeah?

like can i just run white maps and zoom?

[burnt owl]

i mean if you dont want to do ritual, you can just not do ritual, its not required to clear a map.

[turbid kernel]

Armor doesn't help against elemental damage at all and endgame is balanced around having 75% elemental resists. You can get away with weak resists sometimes in campaign and low maps, but you should treat capped elemental resists as mandatory well before T12 maps and chaos res is also very impirtant

[proven patio]

Is it good if I’m max res, 24 chaos res 70% armor and 77 evasion?

[pale wyvern]

Who can give a level 6 waystone🙏🏼

[unborn creek]

sure

inv Mr_Destroyer

[pale wyvern]

ok

[lunar kraken]

Chaos res more important than armor and evasion

[proven patio]

Yeah but I’m not super far into maps yet to buy more c res

[sage jackal]

no i mean if i want to farm ritual

do i need to juice the map

[pale wyvern]

ty bro

[mint merlin]

What lvl do people successfully complet trial of sek for 3rd ascendancy points

[unborn creek]

sure np

[turbid kernel]

Life matters too but those don't sound bad. Note that the % evasion is based on your level (it's the odds of a normal white mob of your level hitting you I think) and the armor thing is kind of a misleading estimate because the armor formula is complicated (it's more effective against smaller hits)

[hexed kelp]

does poison concoction have 100% accuracy

[unborn creek]

Armour just sucks really bad in high tier maps

[hexed kelp]

i dont see it in stats

[proven patio]

I have less evasion cause of the protect me from harm giving great damage reduction

[burnt owl]

With unmaxed chaos you might get occasional oneshots in like t15 maps, but other than that, i'd say you are fine. Especially considering that getting max chaos res is usually a long process (unless you trade ofc)

[proven patio]

Yeah I’m just now doing t5 maps atm almost to 6

But I got lucky with my staff, it crafted really well

[burnt owl]

I did it at like lvl 78 or somethin but mostly cus i got super unlucky and had no coin drops forever... Probably wouldve done it sooner. But im also a minion build so sekhema is much easier for me than for a melee build

[unborn creek]

which one is better to do for third ascendancy? Trial of sekhamas or chaos one?

[burnt owl]

In that case no, you dont need to juice the map, but if you dont, you will probably very quickly run out of high tier maps since unjuiced, they will drop no waystones...

[proven patio]

How do you find the thing for fourth ascendency

[burnt owl]

Luck in 75+ area level zones

[turbid kernel]

Depends on build and personal preference. I think you can do Sekhemas at a much lower level (I believe you can get it from a level 60 Sekhema but need to do 76+ ascendancy) but some people really hate Sekhemas and some builds struggle with iy

[unborn creek]

I am Gemling grenadier

[hexed kelp]

as for me sekhemas is t3 is miles easier

[unborn creek]

tried it once, failed in the third room

maybe because I was Armour stacked

[turbid kernel]

The key for the trial is random drop in level 75+ areas. To get It from Ultimatum you need 3 keys to open a door at the end of Ultimatum, you get a random key at the end of each run but can also buy them from currency ezchange

[hexed kelp]

it takes a bit of learning the mobs patterns and aflictions

[hoary sorrel]

do ppl sell audience with the king carries and where to find them

[turbid kernel]

Also by that point good relics make a huge difference. It's best to get some honor resist relics and relic slots from easier runs first.

[hexed kelp]

if u have like 100% honor res u wont be taking any dmg till florr 3

[white oxide]

is this problem on my end or theirs? CPU usage was around 3ms last week and all of a sudden its jumped up and is using pretty much all of it. its pretty much become unplayable on maps

[turbid kernel]

Honor res has a cap, you can't get 100%

[hexed kelp]

there is nowhere stated that but i think it getting lower every floor so u need to overcap

cap prob exists

but idk how much

[turbid kernel]

It's possible but I don:t see any evidence of this

[leaden fern]

Hello, I don't know if I'm doing wrong but I can not sustain maps. I can do T13+ with no problem with my character but the biggest I have right now is T7. I'm upgrading all my maps and I use tablets on towers, I also got all passives from Atlas tree to get more maps and with better tier, but it's not enough. Am I doing wrong or is it a problem for everyone?

[turbid kernel]

Cap 100% exists because you can get relics that raise it

[hexed kelp]

it feels very good getting 100%

sadly we cant know does it get lower or not

[fleet steppe]

The default max honour res is 75

[turbid kernel]

I mean, I think that's just that it feels good capping it and if you have 100% then it's capped.

[keen pilot]

use tablets on place where towers overlap and try to get irridate on boss nodes

[leaden fern]

Yes I do that

[keen pilot]

then just unlucky I suppose
